Quite heavy reading Pikey and I don’t suppose too many JCers will bother. Lots to think about there and good to see a pan-European perspective being put on the ‘muslim problem’. Britain comes out at the top of the ‘acceptance’ league but there is this interesting comment:
“The rust belt that stretches across Lancashire and Yorkshire is the region where the anti-immigration British National Party, a thuggish group with neo-Nazi links, gets up to 20 percent of the vote from an almost equally ill-educated and hopeless white working class.”
As far as the supporters are concerned, I would have said ‘hapless’ rather than ‘hopeless’ to be fair. And, of course, it doesn’t apply to ALL of them – just as ALL muslims aren’t extremists and ALL immigrants aren’t illegal. The only BNP supporter I know is Emma and I wouldn’t say she is ill-educated in the slightest, but I am easily prepared to accept the likelihood that the vast majority of BNP supporters are as depicted above.
Worth a read through folks; plenty of topics for discussion there and, of course, it is only someone’s OPINION that is in the link.
